TeamViewer confirms number of hacked user accounts is “significant”

For a little more than a month, a growing number of users have reported their accounts were accessed by criminals who used their highly privileged position to drain PayPal and bank accounts.

TeamViewer spokesman Axel Schmidt acknowledged to Ars that the number of takeovers was "significant," but it continued to maintain that the compromises are the result of user passwords that were compromised through a cluster of recently exposed megabreaches involving more than 642 million passwords belonging to users of LinkedIn, MySpace, and other services.
